TAKE OFF YOUR SOCKS LEST THEY BE KNOCKED

I'm afeared People

Posted over 2 years ago
This weekend I head to NYC to see 4 shows: Songbird (Jeff Daniels - yum), Radio Golf (August Wilson's final installment in is 10 plays, 1 for each decade - I miss him), Journey's End (one of the most talented stage actors I was fortunate to witness in "I am my Own Wife" off-broadway - Jefferson Mays) & Spring Awakening (DUNCAN SHEIK & SEX - perfect together). It's four days in one of my favorite cities - Prague/London/Phila - three way tie - then NYC/San Francisco second ... not the point. :)I am going to be away from MOG for the first time since I found it 2 plus months ago. h1. four days away from y'all & MOGlandWhat's a girl to do - I can already feel the shakes coming on ... pretty soon I'll start sweating uncontrollably & begging anyone I can find to let me have just one more "hit" of MOG - I can see me now - heading into every coffeehouse in search of laptop owners, sneaking into the web cafes just to go in the back & get my MOG on.HOW do I do this people ??? Is it feasable, or should I just send someone else in my place so I can sit in my favorite chair (or at work) & MOG to my heart's delight ... no withdrawl symptoms in sight ????I leave Friday on the BRIGHT, so any & all advice you could give an addict of MOG, total music/MOG junkie, would be most helpful. =-)Don't leave me out here to find dark alleyways in shady sections of NYC just to get my MOG on ... HELP !!!!Have I mentioned lately how much I LOVE Conan or whoever books the artists !!!I am trying so hard not to be cowardly about all of this - but I scared shitless doesn't even begin to cut it !!! ;)I will post on Peeping Tom once I get back ... but the album just fit so well into the _*HELP ME I'm a music junkie VIBE !!!!!*_

  1. Mike the Knife says I simply travel with my laptop, Lizzie. I always have it by my side, like a dear companion/day-timer/jester. Hard to imagine life without it. And that's borderline crazy. Still, I like de island Manhattan! (I know I do.) My other home and all. Have a ball!

  3. goodmusiconly says haha, lizzie, I am familiar ... sounds like me back in December when I took my first leave of mog. It was a timorous weekend, sans laptop, but you can pacify your need for mog by dosing up on live music and loading your iPod with new stuff you've found here. Just don't be surprised if you find yourself talking incessantly about mog posts you've read, conversations you've had here, funny things that so-and-so said, and what not. You'll be back in the saddle soon enough. Have a great trip!

  4. Dale says Sorry, I have no advice for you. I went away for a week around Thanksgiving, but was able to get my fix two or three times a day. I'm really scurred for next month, when I won't be within 5 miles of a computer for five whole days, with limited access to my MP3 player. One my one-year MOGiversary, no less. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, but just think of all the wonderful shows you'll be seeing.

  9. chucky says Lizzie, poor Lizzie, there is no advice to give because the withdrawals do hurt. There's nothing for it. Just make sure that you catalog everything you hear and see to share with us when you're back. I'd also like to say that when I looked at that first video I thought "biz markie and mike patton started a band together?" heh.

  10. Lizziegreeneyes says Thanks MOGgers-family-friends ... I really am looking forward to the mimi vacation ... you can bet as soon as I get home Monday evening ... I'ma be glued to the comp chair +attempting the impossible+: to catch up on all my MOGreading :) Know I'll have all sorts of good stories 'bout Spring Awakening & will surely tell you if I have another run-in with some Scientologists... Not to step on anyone's toes if you're a believer... but when they kept shoving a pamphlet in my face that I told them repeatedly I didn't want...my Irish temper _may or may not have flared up, & I may or may not have told them_ that what they had involved themselves in was a *+CULT+*, no more no less ... they are all a bunch of lemmings being brainwashed by a guy who liked to write science fiction. (not that I'm opinionated - y'all know that already right - that I'm _*NOT*_ opinionated). *;P* Shaaaaa, as if ... (said in my best "Wayne's World" Wayne voice).

  12. Lizziegreeneyes says *Ash:* - our comments were two ships passing in the night ;) *_Schooooo, schooo got what I schneeed ... so roll it up & smoke it again_* ... that would be quite the interesting pairing to say the *LEAST ;P* I've already got it planned to jot down any ideas for posts, now I just need to find a little pad of paper to go in my little purdy deep happy tulip pink handbag (it's called persimmon - but how many of you would know what persimmon looks like colorwise - that's what I thought) ... my mind ain't so good these days ... old age 'n all & am going to do my best to get in a little live music - Friday & Sunday night are the two best nights for that ... know I could talk the Mum into grabbing a beer or two & sitting in one of the countless jazz bars in the Village ... she's cool like that (ooh Diggable Planets may be in my not too distant future) :) **Hey Mike**: you got any hole in the wall recommendations for two lovely ladies to visit & enjoy the tunes & libations (I've always wanted to use the word libation, I've already managed to use the world imbibe - that one is fun as well) !!! THANKS MOG !!

  14. Rawkkiddoh says I am sure there is some coffee shop where you can use one of their computers to get your fix in. Think of how awful it would be if it was heroin you were addicted to, at least with this you can go through withdrawl with out the shakes.

  16. Lizziegreeneyes says Kev, a friend in college went to rehab for a heroin addiction - so hopefully I didn't upset you or anyone else with my attempts at humor above ... he stayed off the horse after that, but still went with some of the more acceptible forms of droooogs - so did the rehab work - you tell me ? That being said - I probably will get the shakes - in the sense that I'll think of something or have the perfect turn of phrase - as I like my phrases turned just right & nowhere to vent all the useless information ... I know I'll be fine - I'ma just already missing this place & I don't leave til Friday on the bright ... Music & MOG are my two addictions - well that & the Bubbas - Dooey, Twooey & Lil Miss Thang (nephews & niece) & they aren't coming with me ... Ash, make it my outward facing mog - the bag that is ... shoes - I'll stick with my Docs thank you vrrrrry much ;) Dale you'll be with me - even though you're here :)

  17. Rawkkiddoh says I was trying to be funny, no offense taken and I dont think anyone would feel that you were poking fun. I have yet to get the shakes, but I am afraid of when I start teaching again next fall. I can see it now, teacher makes class project, students all create mog pages.

  18. Lizziegreeneyes says That would be sweet - I loves me some younger men ;P Thank goddess - I really thought I pissed you off that you knew someone who went through a serious heroin addiction. I'm in the shower thinking - I quit smoking 3x (third time *does* appear to be the charm) & they say it's more addictive than crack or heroin. Since I don't have a scale to judge that statement - NOR do I want to have a scale by which to judge that statement ... I gotta go with what's behind door number three Kev - MOG is my heroin... & I'll be it heroine ;P NEXT TIME - might I suggest you try italics or a winky-tongue-sticky-outty face or something... I was wrecked that I upset you & possibly others ... GOOBER !!! - Yeah, that's right, I'm throwing down, my glove has smacked your face ... it's ON Donkey Kong ...

  19. Lizziegreeneyes says HEY kiddies - it really is the start of the warmer months here in PA ... I got my first 1/2 way, lopsided farmer tan thanks to the drive home where I sat in traffic a touch longer than usual... couldn't step away from the MOG to go home @ 5 - was on MOG til 5:30 - see why it's my crack... It sure do look purdy though - time to put the sunblock in the car. Did the same thing last year on my way home from TallPo's in SO Jersey, 2ish hour drive - I was a 1/2 way, lopsided lobster farmer that day... this one is just a teensy bit red right where the shirt ends... matches my handbag Ash ;P Don't tell me I don't coordinate people... h1. COORDINATE !!!! Je-ROD - did you know your Pops had a mushroom belt on ??? _Yes_ Je-ROD - did you know on the inside there was special mushrooms ??? *_YES_*

  20. Rawkkiddoh says Seriously you are going to have to do something better than that to upset me, something like showing up at my front door with your birthday suit that would do it........who am I kidding, no it wouldnt

  23. Anna says The first time hurts, I can tell you that....try to stay away from the trap of trying to find cheap substitutes (like real life fun, it's a dangerous one!)....we will be waiting for ya...I'm sending you all my good addiction vibes...and a dedication...remember, no matter what they tell you, you will reply "no no no"...

  24. Lizziegreeneyes says *Kev*: Don't watch this next video from me... feeling the way you do right now... it might result in me working my best "Reptile" moves & the ultimate...

  25. TroyPowers says Liking the song, Iesha. Is that Rahzel from The Roots on beatbox? Anywayz, in anticipation of going through the same thing this summer, I'm currently trying to order up a laptop to stuff in my backpack on my Prague/Budapest trip. Damnit, you CAN have your cake and eat it too!

  27. Lizziegreeneyes says *Troy*: You know it babydoll... Rahzel is in the hizzouse with Mr. Patton hisself. I posted the album on my multiply page this morning... am confident you'd like the whole record ! Go "HERE":http://mog.com/blog_post/view/79013#comment-332919 - toward the end I have a listing of the songs & guest stars... Prague & Budapest - Prague is by FAR my favorite bohemian city - My heart goes to all of Ireland (course) & London gets loads of luv from me as well. I am desperately wanting to hit Budapest - maybe later this year or early next... I actually love travelling to Europe on the off seasons - the weather is milder than it is in PA & the crowds aren't ridiculous... that's just me though :) Can't wait to hear bout your adventures darlin :) *Kevin ;P*: I spent a year of my college existance in a suite with 6 guys & their friends, watching *FULL METAL JACKET* _at LEAST_ once a week - smoking herb, listening to the beautiful _Neil McClellan_ play the hell outta his acoustic for me any time I requested, doing drivebys past the security booth at 2am - he worked the night shift a lot & hearing about all his conquests - I was the one that got away aparently - *_(WHY, oh WHY don't they ever let you know at the time ???? I could be the one that STAYED FOREVER - I figured he never made a pass cuz he thought of me as a little sister)_* & playing MORTAL COMBAT... didn't get no betta. We'd pass each other on the way to class along the trails all through the forest o' DREW: h1. "FINISH HIM" !!! Being the lizzard of the group - I was +almost always+ *Reptile*, every once in a blue moon I'd go with Sub-Z or Scorpion... but usually *Reptile* Watch out for the tongue Kevin ;P

  31. Cody B says While in NYC, walk a lot. The Lower East Side is bustling these days and Williamsburg (Just a few stops on the L train) if you deign to visit the bourough of Kings, Brooklyn. Enjoy it sister. I have been known to visit a cafe and MOG..plenty of places to do that. Whatever you do, get yourself out of that Disney- land-mall they call midtown.

  33. TroyPowers says Yeah, I normally wouldn't be going during peak season, but there is a huge music festival in Budapest every summer that I've been promising myself I'm going to catch for the last couple years, so...this is the year!
    Permalink posted 05/31/2007
  34. Lizziegreeneyes says Music fest & Europe - totally works for me - don't care what time of year !!! If I _could be_ in your shoes, though they probably smell, I'd do it in a heartbeat !!! Can't wait to hear all about it when you get back. Til then, though - keep my laughing darlin :)

  35. TroyPowers says Yup, the Sziget Festival. Supposed to be a really big deal in ol' Europa. Here's a list of acts that have so far been confirmed for this year's festival (and we're still two months out). Lots of international acts that I've never even heard of. This thing is going to be absolutely crazy! I can't actually promise that I'll make it back. From what I've seen of eastern European women...yeah! :D

  36. Lizziegreeneyes says *Troy:* that fest looks AWESOME. If you stay out that way, you drop me a MOGmail, I'll take care of the men out there... together we could really do some damage to them folks ;P
